Brewer was adopted but his adopter is starting a new path and feels he cannot give him the time he deserves so is looking to rehome him.

About Brewer: Brewer gets the zoomies, so walking him is essential every night before bed. He loves to be outside, and takes naps—he’s normally asleep for 3-4 hours.

He loves toys, especially rubber/sturdier toys and likes to chew on sticks and twigs outside. He is potty trained, he goes to the back door when he needs to use the restroom. He knows sit, paw, stay, eat, up, down, and go to bed. He’s also a good walker, doesn’t pull or tug.

If he gets excited, he may try to get ahead, but 2 little tugs on the leash will make him look at you and will slow him down; when you say “pay attention” he will look up and slow down, so that’s a command he knows as well.

He's a smart dog, and more training will benefit him. He is very food driven, so treats a necessary.

He is crate trained; but I do have to bribe him with a treat, say “go to bed”, and toss the treat in the crate. After that, he’s good to go. I put him in his crate at 9pm, and he’s good until 7am. He stays outside until he eats at 11am. From there is it’s not too hot he’ll back outside, or chill in the house with his chew toy. He naps, goes outside again around 4:30, since its shady, and then eats at 7:30pm—we do use a slow feeder cause he will swallow all the food without chewing. I walk him at 7:45 until 8:30, let him outside with water one more time in case he needs to use the restroom before bed. When on walks, take potty bags, cause he’ll go at least twice.

He loves people, and people seem to love him as well. He likes the pets/rubs behind his ears. He doesn’t mind belly rubs, but he won’t expose his belly to strangers, so I think he likes the behind the ears sensation more. He’s good with other dogs, him and my brother’s dog Cassie hang out all day. I will say, Cassie is 8 years old and has “momed” him cause I think she gets annoyed when he has the zoomies. He’s really only met older dogs, like 5+ year olds, but I don’t see him not getting along with younger dogs, he’s very social.

When it comes to baths, I shower him every 10 days, or more frequent depending on his dirtiness. He doesn’t mind the baths: however, not his favorite, he will try to get out of the tub. I just put him in the water, and he’s okay, but when I start wetting him all over, he’ll try to get out. Warm water is good and makes him more comfortable, and having a towel ready for right after is important, cause he gets cold.

He likes cuddles and being close to you. He’ll rub up again you and wait for you to cuddle him. He always falls asleep while cuddling/petting.
